Branch Office Install

Hello,
My client is planning on deploying branch office and is hitting
the limit of 16 concurrent users. They need about 20-25
concurrent users.
Can branch office me installed more than once on the
same server? Is this a supported configuration?
thanks in advance,
mike

Hi
You will need to make sure all the ports are open for traffic to move between both DC's. Also need to check that you dont have replication problems, IE, slow link. First step would be to see if you can ping the HO DC from the branch, then once you have established
that you have all the ports open and your VLAN is routing traffic correctly then you can start with your DC setup.
You can first upgrade your DC, look at this blog:

Branch Office without network

Hi!
We have been trying to use a branch office install on a single computer for concurrent access from multiple (local) clients.
This works like a charm as long as the computer is on a network (dial-up up or LAN). When we disconnect from the network, new connections to the BO database tends to take several seconds.
The BO machine OS is Windows NT or 2K
I suspect this delay has something to do with the network connection. We have tried to install Microsft Loopback Adapter to remedy this. The result is that it is a little bit faster than before, but the delay is still there.
Is the Branch Office multiuser listener bound to a specific network interface? If so can it be changed? Or does anyone have any other ideas...

It is possible that a PC responds slowly when connecting to the a MU listener when the PC is not on the network. Check how the DSN is defined. Defining it as a localhost may speed up.
MU Listener uses Windows sockets to open the connection.

Install windows server 2012 DC on Branch office

Hi ALL,
i am planning to install a secondary DC on our branch office where currently they are on different domain and forest. our head office is currently on windows server 2008 R2 std, where forest and domain functional level are on windows server 2003. our headoffice
domain name is:- (corpoffice.org) and branch office domain is:- ssl (its a single level domain on windows server 2003).
am thinking to upgrade our headoffice DC to windows server 2012 r2 and the same i wanted to do for branch office as well.
i need some guidance how to proceed with this DC setup as both vlan network is different and all the client settings are different. am getting few query like
1. should i upgrade my headoffice DC first before i setup the branch office DC.
2. how the branch office client will communicate to new DC.
any suggestion and guidance would really helpful.
Thanks

Windows 8.1 laptop not connecting to domain in branch office

We have a problem with a laptop.
It is installed in our Head office (The Netherlands), just like all other laptops by using an image.
Tested and working on the domain.
The user had to go to one of our branch offices (China) and when he connected there, the laptop just won't connect to the domain.
When he plugged in the laptop, it keeps trying to connect it's directaccess.
Other laptops (same image) immediately recognize the domain network, but this laptop just won't.
I am able to ping everything on the local network (MPLS connection), from HQ to all Branch offices but not access them.
I've tried changing the DNS settings, but without any result.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
According to this tool's description, I think it should be helpful to check system current enviroment, such as network, certificates, etc. problem. Actually according to your description, I doubt it probably network enviroment of ISP problem, but we should
find a way to verify our suspect. Then this tool would be convenient, it also would generate a trace log and it would be helpful with troubleshooting.
The DirectAccess Client Troubleshooting Tool is a graphical application, based on the .NET Framework, which checks the health of a DirectAccess client by running various tests. Built-in health tests: The following tests are currently implemented:
Network interfaces Network location (NLS and NRPT DNS) IP connectivity (6to4, Teredo, IPHTTPS, entry point in a multisite setup, DNS) Windows Firewall (applied profile, Firewall outbound rules) Certificates (EKU Client Authentication, trust chain for AIA and
CRL) IPsec infrastructure tunnel (Domain SysVol share) IPsec intranet tunnel (PING and HTTP probes) Additional features Run post-check script (PowerShell, VBScript, BAT or CMD file)

Branch office installation of Oracle 8i Lite

I have developed a Java application using Oracle 8i Lite. I know, how to extract a required datbase file and supporitng run time files using deploy utility for stand alone machine. Thus, i can zip and send those file by email or thru web server to the client for installation on stand alone machine.
Since we can not use the Web to GO server, we want to send the Branch office database and its run time files (Only required files for running and not for developing) for server as well as for client to work in the LAN in the same manner as how deployed on stand alone machine without sending the Oracle lite CD and without using the Web to GO server.
In short, we want to install the Branch office Database machine files and Branch office client files by sending only required files in email without using web to go server and without sending Oracle lite CD.
Advance thanks for your valuable reply.
Thansk and Best regards

It would help if you told us the exact problem description and ... post in the correct forum. This forum is dedicated to oracle on apple's macosX.
What is the problem ?

Branch office WDS still pullinh image from main site

Hi,
I'm trying to configure a WDS on our branch site.
what i did was open a new folder named DeployFilesFromMaster on the branch office server and replicate the DeploymentShare from main to branch office using DFS.
then i installed WDS services on the branch office and add a Boot Image (taken from DeployFilesFromMaster)
next i configured, under Scope Option on the DHCP server, options 66 (giving the ip address of the branch WDS), and option 67 (giving the path \Boot\x64\wdsnbp.com).
now when I'm booting a computer into PXE it start working, but when pressing F8 and use the netstat command i see it has a session to my main office deploy server instead to the branch office.
what do i need to change?
when looking in the branch office server, there is ofcourse the DeployFilesFromMaster folder and there is another folder named DeploymentShare that was made while installiing the WDS server, and there is a wdsnbp.com file as well. how do I know, when DHCP
direct me to the boot file name, that it direct me to the right file, or it doesnt matter.
thanks for your help

The variable WDSSERVER is a variable that is figured out by MDT when booting a machine using the boot image created by Microsoft Deployment Toolkit. Therefore it is not available in Windows.
If you want different WSUS servers depending on location of the client you can use for instance this technique in CustomSettings.ini. This will point clients on a specific subnet to a specific WSUS server.

Branch Office implementation

where can I find a good white paper on 'Branch Office' arch. and implementation of Lite?

Hi ,
Oracle Lite -Branch Office not working as expected
Lite Version- 5.0.2
1.     The documentation says an odbc dsn should have been automatically created with a name of "USER_DBNAME when sync with Mobile server
2.     A blank "files available for download" page is display with no buttons and no file from url http://BR/public/download
3.     Cant see any application in the Branch office system
     Steps used to create/publish a branch office application
     We have three machines and their hostnames are
     M1 = Mobile Server + Mobile development kit Win2k
     M2 = Branch Office win2k
     M3 = Branch Office client win2k
1) Install Mobile Server and mobile developer kit 5.0.2 on machine M1 2) Launch "Mobile Server Control Center" to machine M1
3) Create user Test, Assign user "Test" System Privilege of
"Administrator"
4) Assign user "Test" to the "Branch Adminstrators" group
5) Create a dummy application (Sample. jar).
6) Launch packaging wizard on machine m1
7) Select "Win32 Native" as your target
8) created snapshots with scott.emp table
9) Enter "Sample" in the client side database name field.
10) Publish the application from machine M1
11) Launch "Mobile Server Control Center" to machine m1
12) from the applications tab of "Control Center" Select the
"Sample application
13) Enter the database users password and save the change
14) Select the "Access" link from the left nav and grant user
"Test" access to the "Sample" application
15) Select the "Files" link from the left nav then select the win32
link.
Check the public file box for file "Sample.jar" and save changes
16) from machine M1 install branch office by downloading the software
from machine M1.
Download/install http://MO/webtogo/setup, select the "branch
office" download
17) From the M1 machine launch setup.exe
18) Sign on as user Test, Press "next" to sync
19) The documentation says an odbc dsn should have been automatically
created with a name of "Test_Sample".
Can see only DSN name webtogo which points to <<Dir>>\OLDB40 and file Sample.odb
20) From the M1 machine launch the control center @ http://localhost/ 21) Sign on as user shekar , Press sync tab
20) checked the M1 machine and it did not install my "Sample.jar" but can see Sample.odb
21) Now attempt to configure the branch office client machine m1
22) From machine M2 download the client software @ http://m1/public/download
23) A blank "files available for download" page is display with no buttons and no file.

Branch Office for Webtogo Apps

Does Branch Office support Webtogo Apps? This would help with initial download times if a sync could be made to a Branch Office machine and then have local downloads by clients.

I have a web-based Java servlet application. My application size is about 50MB of data/code and I would like to know if a Branch office configuration would help with sync times? Meaning, a central server would perform the sync with many Branch office machines located remotely. Then local clients would log into branch office machine and be able to access the web-based application and go offline if wanted.
I installed a Branch Office machine but the Control Center does not have ability to create or manage Users or access to applications. Did I miss something?
Thanks for your input,
John

Branch Office - Mobile Server connection problem

Branch Office is successfully installed on a XP-PC inclusive the services are started, Mobile -Server is installed on a remote Server. After login with user and password in http://localhost/webtogo/ "Branch Office Web" it takes a while (we think in case of synchronization) but then we get the message at the left side of the browser "javax.servlet.ServletException: Could not get Automatic Sync Status"
We think its a problem of the connection to the Mobile-Server but we have no Idea, how we can solve this problem because we can't verify the problem. There is no firewall and no restriction in our network.
We hope that anybody has an idea!

BTW. How may concurrent user can be support by Oracle9iLite?

Branch Office Access

I use TMG as our companies Proxy as well as default gateway. I have recently installed 2 sonicwall tz105 devices, one located at our branch office and one located in our main office where the TMG server is located. The branch office uses this device for
internet access and a vpn tunnel to our main office. (At one time I had a ISA server at the branch location and it was the vpn tunnel to our main but this is a small 2 man office and keeping the isa server up to date was becoming a pain.) The branch office
has no problems accessing the main office. My problem is getting the main office to access the branch office. Right now if a client computer on the main network wants to access a server on the branch office the only way to accomplish this is to change the
client computers gateway from the tmg server ip to the sonicwall ip. This was not a problem in the past when I had 2 isa or tmg servers at both locations because the rules would pass the traffic to the branch office. I have tried putting rules in the TMG server
for traffic bound to the branch office network but nothing seems to work.
Should I be using tmg rules to accomplish this or do I need to go a different route such as dns or routing.
Thanks,

HI Gray,
Belwo are my suggestations.
Ensure all the client Default gateway is pointing to TMG, If you have any L3 Switch Devices before TMG Internal Interface then on L3 point Default gateway to TMG Internal Interface and on all client make Gateway as L3 Switch.
Create a network Subnet Set of Branch Office in TMG
In TMG Networking, You need to have a route relationship
Go to Networking, Create a new network Rule, From Branch Office Subnet to Internal as Route ( Not NAT). As route is bidirectional it will automatically route Internal to Branch Office
On Access Rule, Create Two Rules, Internal to Office Subnet and Office to Internal and allow all outbound Ports
Ensure, Your SonicWALL is Routing Traffic to Internal network to TMG External interface.

Windows 2008 R2 RODC + Branch Office

I'm looking at utilising a new RODC in a small branch office but I have a copuple of queries that hopefully someone can point in the right direction.
Is it possible to move a RODC to a new Site / Subnet like you can with a normal DC. I plan to build the rodc and then move it to the new office once the sites / subnets have been created.
I think I need to run ADPREP / rodcprep to install this server. I currently have 2 windows 2008 rc domain controllers and 1 windows 2003 (soon to be retired).
Plan:
Adprep the domain
Build Windows server and promote to RODC
Create new site and subnet
POwer down RODC
Move RODC to the new site within AD and physcially move to site
Does this sound feasible?
Many thanks

Greetings!
Promote your RODC and let it replicate the content from RWDC, after that move RODC within new site and then move the server to new location with yourself.

Advise on using Branch office server as backup

Hello and thanks for assistance,
The site in question has four physical servers and two virtual servers. They have the following major functions. Server A is a DC/DNS server as well as hosting DFS files. Server B holds exchange server 2012A and the replica partner for DFS, Server C
has two virtual servers installed. First one is exchange 2012B and second one is the antivirus server. Server D is a DC and a witness server. It also holds WSUS. Backup is taking as long as 12 hours. I had an idea of moving Server C and D offsite and configuring
them as branch office servers using VPN. Then all data including mail will be offsite and eliminate the need for backups. All servers of course have RAID1 so my concern really is not hardware related but disaster recovery in the event of fire, flood, ect.
I know this idea may be full of holes but that is why I am posting this for your opinions. There are about 50 workstations in the network. The client is very dependent on the network.
Thanks
Ronald C. Pope

Hi Ronald,
Of course you can create offsite Exchange server and DC. The connection performance may be an issue as you must use site-to-site VPN incase you need a failover.
Both topics are discussed a lot in Exchange and DC forum:

Clients Not seeing DHCP server at branch office or not accepting ip offers (NO LOG REPORTS KIND OF IN THE DARK)

Hi there i am having an issue that has popped up recently i have a DC at a branch office that is connected to the main office DC via a Persistent Demand Dial connection in RRAS. Everything was working properly according to me until i found out that the Network
Admin who manages the branch office network failed to notify me that client machines weren't getting IP addresses from the DHCP server. This server was recently installed and wasn't fully implemented till about a week ago when i configured the Demand Dial
connection in RRAS up until that point it just had a regular old VPN connection to the main office while we worked out the kinks with a few things. the things ive tried so far to get DHCP working are as followed
1.Rebooted the branch office server (MULTIPLE TIMES)
2. Uninstalled the DHCP Role and re-installed it....To my surprise 1 client managed to get a ip on its lan adapter after DHCP was re-installed but nothing else
3. Disconnected the connection between the main office DC and the Branch office DC as i figured the main office DC DHCP server might be interfering with the branch office DC DHCP Server but nothing happened
4. Unauthorized and Reauthorized the main office DHCP server and the branch office DHCP server nothing changed
5. sifted through multiple log files on both servers and found noting in fact DHCP logs are empty on both servers
6. restored backups of the DHCP servers from when they were working
7. came here cause im out of ideas and im pulling my hair out
here are the current statistics from the problem server

Auto deploying branch office printers with Direct Access

Hello there
I am implementing my first Direct Access topology and have a question. We will have branch offices with workstations deployed using Direct Access for administrative purposes. We have staff moving around from branch to branch with the goal to
make logging on to the network and accessing resources for users as automated as possible. One of the questions I have regards auto configuring branch printers for users using Group Policy. The branch offices have workstations, printers and NAT modem/routers
with DHCP - but no servers.
If we have a stand alone network printer, how do we list that printer in Active Directory allowing the user to auto-configure it using group policy? If we install it on a server at Head Office, would the print job travel there first and then back to
the branch? Obviously this is not ideal. Or can it be directed straight to the printer using a script or something?
Alternatively we can install and share it on a branch workstation and list it in the directory, but would this not be same the problem as above? This is not ideal either as it would depend on the workstation being always on and available.
Any input Direct Access gurus?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Thanks for your post.
We could have 2 possible solutions for natively deploy printers using Group Policy without the need for any scripting:
1) Group Policy Preferences – available in Windows Server 2008 and later
2) Print Management – available in Windows Server 2003 R2 and later

Did you try to use the Print Management? You can share printers on a network and centralize print server and network printer management tasks using the Print Management Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in. Print Management helps you to monitor print
queues and receive notifications when print queues stop processing print jobs. It also enables you to migrate print servers and deploy printer connections using Group Policy.

Meanwhile, if you have any Direct Access related issue, I think you may ask in network forums:
